India vs Australia, 1st ODI: Something just clicked and my rhythm came back: Steve Smith
The former Australian skipper put up a solid show with the bat as he along with current skipper Aaron Finch, helped the hosts post the highest ODI score against India. After opting to bat first, the Australian top-order put up a clinical show as the hosts put up a strong total of 376 for the loss of six wickets.
Despite a flying start India failed to chase down the target as they fell to a 66-run loss in the 1st ODI of the three-match ODI series.
After his match-winning knock, Smith said that he had been searching for something that has finally fallen in place.
Speaking after the match, Smith said, “Have been searching for a couple of months now. About three days ago something just clicked. My rhythm came back, everything came back.”
Openers Aaron Finch and David Warner handed Australia a flying start and that allowed Smith to walk in and enjoy his game in the middle. “Finch and Davey played very well early on. We could come in and be aggressive. Wasn’t thinking too much out there, just seeing the ball and hitting it,” added Smith.
